Last month, ESPN's Kevin Pelton revisited the 2024 offseason's biggest deals. The NBA pundit regraded every major move after a year's worth of observation. For instance, the Chicago Bulls' sign-and-trade that sent DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings was regraded as a "D" after earning a "C" grade last offseason.
Of course, the Bulls' decision to part ways with DeRozan wasn't the franchise's only bold move in the summer of 2024. Chicago also swapped All-NBA Defender Alex Caruso with the Oklahoma City Thunder's Josh Giddey. Pelton had originally graded the trade as a "C+" for the Bulls before slightly upping it to a "C" following Giddey's impressive 2024-25 performance.
